Listen, it doesn't matter if this server you just launched was the best in the world, it was a poor choice to do it at this time. A lot of people are hyped up and mobilized for Essence Rohan when it comes.

Any players that you do get will be few and far-between because of this, and will tend to leave, not necessarily because it's a bad server, but because of a lack of player to interact with. Then another drove of players may come, who will leave for the same reason. You need a very large amount of players to come AT ONCE for that "critical mass" to be reached, where there are a lot of players to trade with, and large-scale PvP can take place. That's what makes R.O.H.A.N., R.O.H.A.N..

YNK didn't just put out the original R.O.H.A.N. out of the blue. They announced it first, and gave it some breathing room away from other game releases. The same goes for private servers.
